For
this new moon I wanted to pull one card from the Dreams of Gaia Tarot as to
what energy I should embrace during the time until the Full Moon in
April. Instead this one jumped right into my face while shuffling and when I
turned it over I knew it was the perfect
card for me: The Seven of Earth. Some of its keywords are grounding, meditation
and connection.
In
this card we see a meditating figure who chakras a perfectly balanced. He is one with himself, the physical world around him and the all
permeating spiritual realm. Yes he even fully understands that all these aspects
of being spring from the same source and
are all equally important.
Painting
my oracle deck has brought me a great deal of healing but now I want to take it
up a notch and take up things I feel less comfortable with.
So
for the coming time I want to focus on doing things outside and also pick up my
meditation practice (again). This morning I’ve combined the two and meditated in
my garden. It is some getting used to because while I meditated other people were
talking loudly and someone was working with a sander.
Also
I want to go out for walks more regularly again. I know it will bring me
peace and calm but just like meditating I tend to “forget” it
too often. Sometimes I think I suffer from spiritual amnsesia J
So
lots of ideas and to tackle my forgetfulness I am going to list them in my planner. Mind you, it won’t be a “todo” list
but a gentle “remind” me list of options
Love the focus and calm awareness of the fellow in this card! I live right next to a ball park, so I can relate to noise during meditation (loud speaker, people cheering, etc.). Sometimes I sit on my back porch and do a listening meditation, allowing whatever sounds in the environment to register without pushing any away. When I include them all, I can relax with whatever I hear (like a radar picking up whatever is there to be heard).
ReplyDeleteYes including the sounds into the meditation is indeed helping. That way I have learned to come to terms (most of the time) with the sometimes extremely loud barking dog who lives close by :)
DeleteAh... the challenges of a Hermit in the city
Heehee, we have one of those dogs next door too. My husband is convinced he barks at the grass growing when there is nothing else around. :D
Deleteshared sorrow is half sorrow :D
Deleteyour post reminds me I've been thinking about trying reiki. Or back to acupuncture. Thanks for door knockering my brain today
ReplyDeleteYour welcome! Good to have you back :)

What a great draw for the New Moon. All that energy swirling around and arising kundalini energy release.
ReplyDeleteYes it is a wonderful energy to embrace
DeleteA gentle reminder of options sounds good!
ReplyDeleteYes, it does, doesn't it.
